Clare Crawley Seemingly Blames Producers for ‘Bachelorette’ Strip Dodgeball Date

From Cosmopolitan

• Clare Crawley fired back at criticism over that Bachelorette strip dodgeball date.

• Uh, she also implied the producers came up with it, not her.

Bachelor Nation still isn’t over how incredibly cringe last week’s episode of The Bachelorette was, in part due to a game of strip dodgeball in which Clare Crawley’s suitors had to take off literally all their clothes. The date caused viewers to voice concern about the show’s objectification of Clare’s guys, with fans saying the game was “lowkey creepy,” “vaguely sexually harass-y,” “severely problematic,” and full of “double standards.”

But apparently, Clare is NOT here for people calling her out. Like, to the point where she hopped on Twitter and shut down a fan who wrote, “It’s awful you had the guys take off their clothes. If The Bachelor asked the women do the same things all heck would break loose. You were wrong. Juan Pablo should have had you strip.”

Behold, her response:

Hmmm, maybe the lesson here is The Bachelor and Bachelorette should...like...STOP MAKING CONTESTANTS STRIP? Either way, producers (not Clare) were the ones who organized this date, and according to Us Weekly, she Liked a tweet that said, “Hmmmm it’s almost like making contestants take their clothes off is a really tired production trick and wasn’t your idea at all.”

Considering this comes on the heels of Clare Liking tweets that said producers forced her out of the show, yikes.
